I often think of dog walkers in the same way that many think of motor-cyclists - relatively harmless on the whole, but the majority are tarnished by a small minority. The spoilers in terms of motor-cyclists are those who speed, accelerate too rapidly, and deliberately make their machines excessively loud. The dog walkers who smear the reputation of others are those with untrained dogs, the sort that rush up to you barking as the owner shouts commands to no avail. The dog in today's photograph was well-trained, inquisitive without looking threatening, and its silhouette along with its owner's made a good point of visual focus among the whites and blues of the snow, the shadows, the clouds and the sky.
